Black Desert to officially launch in Korea later this year

Gamers’ mouths the world over have been drooling at Black Desert, Pearl Abyss’s new MMORPG, as the game goes through rounds of closed beta testing in Korea. But the days of limited betas apparently won’t last much longer; the game’s publisher Daum has announced via its regulatory financial filings that it plans to release the game officially in the second half of this year.

Of course, that still doesn’t resolve the questions of anxious fans outside of Korea who’d like to get their hands on the game. We know for sure there’s an English version of Black Desert in development, but when it will be released and when servers will be set up outside Korea is still not clear.

Still, the upcoming Korean release news bodes well. For anxious fans outside of Korea, here’s a fan-made video tour of some of the game’s gorgeous locations to help whet your appetite:
